20/04/2015 Design of CLT ceilings

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

• Check of CLT ceilings: now you can design CLT ceiling elements. The calculation can be performed either according to the following hypothesis:
  • – Deformable connection: the calculation model adopted is that of mechanically jointed beams with deformable connection in accordance with Appendix B of EN 1995-1-1. The shear flexibility of the transverse layers is considered using the Gamma-method: namely with Möhler theory for CLT panel having up to 3 layers oriented in the direction of calculation and with Shelling theory for CLT panel having more than 3 layers oriented in the direction of calculation.
  • – Non-deformable connection: the calculation model adopted is that of mechanically jointed beams with non-deformable connection. The shear flexibility of the transverse layers is not considered.
• Bug fixing e small improvements
